Washington woman gets six months for kicking officers

ROCKLAND, Maine — A 22-year-old Washington woman will spend six months in jail after admitting to kicking two police officers.

Becky L. Condon pleaded guilty Thursday in Knox County Superior Court to two counts of felony assault, one count of felony theft, refusing to submit to arrest, failure to give a correct name, violating a condition of release, failure to report to jail and disorderly conduct.

The assaults occurred July 9 in Rockport when police stopped the vehicle she was a passenger in for speeding, according to the prosecution’s version of events to which she pleaded guilty.

Condon gave the first officer on the scene — Maine State Police Trooper Jeremiah Wesbrock — a false name. The next officer to arrive, Knox County Deputy John Hansen recognized her, and when the officers attempted to arrest her for violating her conditions of release she kicked Wesbrock twice and Hansen once.
